"The Inner Life of a Cell, an eight-minute animation created in NewTek LightWave 3D and Adobe After Effects for Harvard biology students (...) illustrates unseen molecular mechanisms and the ones they trigger, specifically how white blood cells sense and respond to their surroundings and external stimuli.

[I]n the animation there’s a motor protein that’s sort of walking along a line, carrying this round sphere of lipids.

But based on all the data, it’s a completely accurate rendering.” says XVIVO lead animator John Liebler
